1 Introduction

1.1 Safety instructions

CAUTION!
Do not use IND425 in hazardous areas!
Our product range includes special devices for hazardous areas.

CAUTION!
Use only scales with Protection Class IP65, if:
• the scale is used in wet areas
• wet cleaning is necessary
• the scale is used in a dusty environment

Even with Protection Class IP65, the scale must not be used in environments with cor-
rosion risk.
▲ Never flood the scale or immerse it in liquid.

DANGER!
Electric shock hazard!
▲ Always pull out the mains plug before any work on the device.

DANGER!
Electric shock hazard if the mains cable is damaged!
▲ Check the mains cable for damage regularly and replace it immediately if it is dam-
aged.
▲ On the rear side of the device, maintain a clearance of at least 3 cm in order to
prevent the mains cable bending too much.

IND425 Introduction

CAUTION!
On no account open the device!
The warranty is void if this stipulation is ignored. The device may only be opened by
authorized persons.
▲ Call METTLER TOLEDO Service.

Disposal
➜ Observe the valid environmental regulations when disposing of the scale.
If the device has a rechargeable battery:
The battery contains heavy metals and therefore must not be disposed of with normal
waste.
➜ Observe the local regulations for disposing of environmentally hazardous materi-
als.

Note Use with foodstuffs

Parts coming into contact with foodstuffs have smooth surfaces and are easy to clean.
The materials used do not splinter and are free of harmful substances.
With foodstuffs, it is recommended to use the supplied protective cover.
➜ Clean the protective cover regularly and carefully.
➜ Replace damaged or very dirty protective cover immediately.

1.2 Description
METTLER TOLEDO weighing platforms can be connected to the terminal IND425 with-
out any problems.
The power supply is carried out via a built-in power supply device or an external bat-
tery.

One of the following options can also be ordered:

• Additional interface RS232 or RS485
• Ethernet interface
• USB interface
• Digital I/O
• OptionBox for AccuPac

IND425 Introduction

1.3 Putting into operation

For startup, connect the terminal to an analog METTLER TOLEDO weighing platform
(see installation instructions METTLER TOLEDO Terminals IND4.. or call METTLER
TOLEDO Service).

1.3.1 Connecting the power supply

CAUTION!
Before connecting the scale to the mains, check whether the voltage value printed on
the rating plate corresponds with the local mains voltage.
▲ Never connect the device if the voltage value printed on the rating plate is different
to the local mains voltage.
➜ Plug the mains plug into the socket.
After connection, the device performs a self-test. When the zero display appears,
the device is ready to weigh.
➜ Calibrate the device in order to obtain the greatest possible precision, see
Section 3.3.1.

Note Partially certified scales (scales with first-level certification) must be certified by an
authorised body or by the METTLER TOLEDO Service.
➜ Call METTLER TOLEDO Service.
Terminals with AccuPac can work independently from the mains for approximately
30 hours in normal operation. A prerequisite for this is that the background lighting
is switched off and that no peripheral devices are connected.
The battery symbol indicates the present charging level of the battery. 1 segment cor-
responds to approx. 25 % capacity. When the symbol flashes the battery must be
charged (min. 4 hours). The charging period is extended if work is continued during
charging. The battery is protected against overcharging.

Note The battery’s charging capacity can be reduced under continuous mains operation.
➜ To maintain the charging capacity, after a maximum of 4 weeks discharge the bat-
tery completely before recharging it.

IND425 Interface description

4.1.2 Requirements for communication between scale and PC

• The scale must be connected to the RS232, RS485, USB or Ethernet interface of a
PC with a suitable cable.
• The interface of the scale must be set to "Dialog" mode, see Section 3.6.1.
• A terminal progam must be available on the PC, e.g. HyperTerminal.
• The communication parameters baud rate and parity must be set in the terminal
program and on the scale to the same values, see Section 3.6.3.

4.1.3 Notes on network operation via the optional interface RS422/485

Up to 32 scales can be networked with the optional RS422/485 interface. In network
operation, the scales must be addressed from the computer before commands can be
sent and weighing results received.

Description of the steps Host Direction Scale

1. Host addresses the scale, e.g. with the address <ESC> 3A –––>
3A hex.
2. Host sends a SICS command, e.g. SI SI <CRLF> –––>
3. The scale confirms receipt of the command and <––– <ESC> 3A
sends the address back
4. The scale responds to the command and returns <––– S_S____45.02_kg
control of the bus to the host <CRLF>

4.2 TOLEDO Continuous mode

4.2.1 TOLEDO Continuous commands

The scale supports the following input commands in TOLEDO Continuous mode:

Command Meaning
P <CR><LF> Print out the current result
T <CR><LF> Tare the scale
Z <CR><LF> Zero the display
C <CR><LF> Clear the current value
Tx.xxx <CR><LF> Define tare

4.2.2 Output format in TOLEDO Continuous mode

Weight values are always sent in the following format in TOLEDO Continuous mode:

Status Field 1 Field 2

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18
STX SWA SWB SWC MSD – – – – LSD MSD – – – – LSD CR CHK
Field 1 6 digits for the weight value that is sent without a decimal point and unit
Field 2 6 digits for the tare weight that is sent without a decimal point and unit
STX ASCII characters 02 hex, characters for "start of text"
SWA, SWB, SWC Status words A, B, C, see below
MSD Most significant digit
LSD Least significant digit
CR Carriage Return, ASCII characters 0D hex
CHK Checksum (2-part complement of the binary sum of the 7 lower bits of all previously sent
characters, incl. STX and CR)

country or geographical zone for which the instrument is verified. The geo value set in
the instrument (e.g."Geo 18") appears briefly after switch-on or is specified on a label.
Table GEO VALUES 3000e shows the geo values for European countries.
Table GEO VALUES 6000e/7500e shows the geo values for different gravitation
zones.
